Corrections Policy

Heresthebest publishes research-based guides. We try to be accurate, but errors happen. This page explains what we do when we get something wrong and how to tell us.

How to report a factual error

Email [email protected] with:

  • The URL of the article.
  • A specific quote or section that contains the error.
  • What you believe the correct information is.
  • A source, if possible, that supports the correction.

We respond to correction requests within 5 business days. We do not respond to general complaints, opinion disputes, or requests to remove negative coverage of a product or service.

What counts as a correction

We issue a public correction for:

  • Factual errors – incorrect dates, prices, names, regulations, statistical figures, or attributions.
  • Material misstatements – claims about a product or service that are not accurate as of the publication date.
  • Source errors – citing a source that does not support the claim, or citing a withdrawn or retracted source.

We do not issue formal corrections for:

  • Opinions, evaluations, or recommendations we still stand behind.
  • Pricing or feature changes that occurred after publication. These are handled in the article’s changelog, not as corrections.
  • Typos that do not change the meaning of a sentence.
  • Disagreements about interpretation that are reasonable on both sides.

How a correction appears in an article

When we issue a correction:

  1. The corrected information is updated in the article body.
  2. A Correction notice is added at the top of the article in a visible block, briefly stating what was incorrect, what it has been changed to, and the date of the correction.
  3. The article’s changelog at the bottom records the correction.
  4. An entry is added to the public corrections log below.

Public corrections log

This is a running log of significant corrections issued on Heresthebest articles. Minor typo fixes and routine pricing updates are not listed here; they appear in each article’s changelog.

No corrections have been issued yet. When the first correction is issued, the entry will appear here in this format:

2026-XX-XX - Article: [Title of article]
What was wrong: [Brief description of the error]
What it has been changed to: [Brief description of the correction]
Source for the correction: [Link to the source that supports the corrected information]

Withdrawals

If an article contains errors significant enough that the article cannot reasonably be corrected, for example, if the topic has changed materially or the underlying sources have been retracted, we may withdraw the article. Withdrawn articles:

  • Remain accessible at their original URL with a visible "Withdrawn" notice at the top.
  • Are not removed from the site to avoid breaking external links and Google search results.
  • Are marked noindex in search engines.
  • Are listed in this section with the date and reason for withdrawal.

No articles have been withdrawn to date.

Editorial independence in corrections

We correct errors regardless of whether the affected product, service, or organization complains. We do not negotiate the wording of corrections with subjects of coverage. We do not delete or revise articles in response to legal threats unless we are convinced the article is factually wrong, in which case we issue a correction the same way as for any other error.
